This was our second visit and we took some friends. We sampled the meatballs, souvlakia and kleftiko for starters and our main courses. Typical greek restaurant the food didn't arrive at the same time but it was hot and delicious. Would definitely recommend Sokrates for a traditional greek night out

The food quality was excellent, and very reasonably priced. We went for the greek meze, each dish was brought out pretty quickly, there wasn't much of a wait between each. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Lovely place, will be back again

This was our first time at Sokrates, we were made to feel very welcome with attentive service through out the night. The food was as we hoped a real Greek experience with fantastic flavors. Looking forward to another visit very soon.

Great food, service excellent and friendly. Lovely place that always reminds me a bit of being on holiday. Prices are reasonable, and there's plenty of choice. The mezze is excellent for those that can't decide so you can try a little of everything.

Quiet place, amazing authentic Greek food and excellent service. Well worth a visit to try the chefs menu. Worth ringing before to see what's on the menu as some special dishes have a long prep time.

Upon arrival, we were shown to our table which was situated in a small area, separate from the rest of the restaurant, adjacent to the ladies' toilets. When we complained, we were offered an alternative which was acceptable however, we had to move our own cutlery, serviette and drinks. The Mythos was warm. Apart from these factors, our meal was enjoyable.

This was our first time at Socrates and we visit some excellent Greek restaurants quite regular so it had a lot to live up to. The food was good and the staff friendly, the decor is very dated with a blend of odd colours, however this strangely gives it the feel of a traditional Greek taverna so don't let that put you off. For a Saturday night I would have liked a bit more atmosphere so will maybe try on the Thursday night once a months with live music & dancing. In any case we will definitely visit Socrates again.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere. Despite being extremely busy staff were great and the service was swift. If anything that could be the only criticism, We went quite early but the place was full and there were lots of people waiting when we left. {of course we can appreciate that some people just like to eat and go}. It is along time since we had visited Sokrates in Horwich but we will definitely put it on our favourites list. There only one thing left to say the food was excellent. Yamas.

The 4 of us had a lovely traditional Greek meal with wine. More food than we could eat - might have ordered too much! The bill came to £80 which was amazing value. Our friends go to Greece twice a year and thought it was more authentic than some of the islands! On a Tuesday night the restaurant was nearly full so recommend you book. Will definitely be going again, Iain

After reading all he reviews it was disappointing.We had just spent two weeks in Kos,so payng £15.00 for two lamb chops,plus a few bits was VERY expensive.The house wine at £15.50/bottle was poor,but to be fair it was also poor in Kos.Greek wine not the best in the world! Staff good but a bit too busy to attend to a full restaurant.
